Mindbenders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on, baby, let's start today, come on, baby, let's play
The game of love, love, love, love, la la la la la love
It started long ago in the garden of Eden
When Adam said to Eve, "Baby, you're for me"
So come on, baby, let's start today, come on, baby, let's play
Come on, baby, 'cause the time is right
Love your daddy with all your might
Put your arms around me, hold me tight
Play the game of love
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on, baby, let's start today, come on, baby, let's play
The game of love, love, love, love, la la la la la love
Yeah, (oh yeah) whoa, yeah (oh yeah)
Well come on, baby, 'cause the time is right
Love your daddy with all your might
Put your arms around me, hold me tight
Play the game of love
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on, baby, let's start today, come on, baby, let's play
The game of (love) love, (love) love, la la la la la love
The game of love, baby, the game of la la la la la love
The game of love, baby, the game of la la la la la love
The game of love, baby
